Hm... [ Bariyan looks over at the bartender, who is busy tending to someone else at the other end of the bar. Then he picks up one of the gold pieces and examines it. ] Not sure.

[ He reaches for his jacket and digs around in the pockets until he produces a plastic card, and sets that down next to some of Koltira's coins. ] I have this, too. It's worked for buying other items here.

[ But he pockets it again, quickly, and laughs as he pushes the coins back to Koltira as well. ]

Did you invite me out here without thinking of how to pay? Or were you expecting me to take care of it? [ Bariyan neither looks nor sounds offended, or even surprised -- his eyes are crinkled with amusement. ]
